I have been laid up with Pneumonia and Mono for the last 4 weeks, prior to that I was overly hectic with work. I do not have much energy for forums lately. I drop in, read a few, as long as good info is being given, no need to for me to expend any excess :)

I took the cave out because it was larger than I liked for her 5 gallon tank. I posted new pics in the habitats section of the forum of how it looks now. How have you been? I never see you on much anymore.

I saw your post and had a question as I am putting a penguin 100 in my 5.5 gallon tank. I didn't understand what you meant by a defuser. I am thinking that I'll need to slow the current from my filter. Thanks.

I have a female betta who is stressed by the light being on. I can't cut the time back because I have amazon sword family plants in there, so it needs 12 hours of light. I have a 10 watt CFL bulb in currently. Is there something I can use for now that isn't as bright for her, but good for the plants? Any ideas for how to help her not be stressed by the light being on?
